I'd raise to 300 or even 380.

What if you did that (raised 300) and then he reraised you back to 600?

Think of it this way - if you raise to, say, 350 and get raised back all in, that means that the pot will have 2300 (roughly) and you will have to call 1130. That's 2:1, giving you the right odds to draw to a full house. But you're playing a low stakes tournament, so it's not guaranteed (or even really that likely) that he has the flush already. In fact if you get this kind of action you're probably up against a pair + Ah, or maybe just the Ah alone. It's possible the other guy has 33 or 44 as well. So there's a good chance you're ahead already.

Well thats how I played it. I raised 300 and then he raised to 600 and then I pushed. He had the flush. Then some donk was mocking my play and it had me question it. I always love to sharkscope the guy that is doing the mocking to see that he is a losing player.

Any more thoughts would be appreciated but I think that I get the idea.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat.

You have top set, it's like, never, ever, ever, correct to fold on the flop.

The question is more do you call or raise?

I prolly wouldve fucked this one up and call. But I think I like raising here now that I've read this and thought about it. At this level, only a small % of his range is the made flush, and the odds of him hitting it are slim, very slim.
